Fiber-to-Carb Ratio Calculator
Evaluate the dietary quality of food products by calculating their fiber-to-carbohydrate ratios.
Understanding the 10:1 Carb-to-Fiber Rule
Developed by public health researchers at Harvard, the **10:1 Carbohydrate-to-Fiber rule** is a simple benchmark to identify high-quality, unprocessed carb sources. Since a standard wheat kernel has roughly 10 grams of carbs for every 1 gram of fiber, processed foods that strip away the bran and germ will yield a much higher ratio, spiking insulin rapidly.
